You should get a bigger cam. Search the western forum and you will get plenty there. There are guys passing smog with 224/224, 228/228, 228/230 etc... The reason i say go with a bigger cam is because i have the 224/224 and if i did not have to worry about smog then i would have went with the ms4 or something bigger. That cam that you have is slightly bigger than stock and you will not feel verry much of a difference. Just my advice.

Yea thats a baby cam, I went with the TR224 the first time with high flow cats, no problem with smog. I hear people going with a TR226 and still passing. That cam your using is a waste of time and money IMO...
Then that BBK is another issue too, do some research on that one, havent heard to many good reviews about it. My buddy had one and got rid of it within two weeks & he was the 3rd owner, im not sure of the reason.
Good Luck

I have heard mixed reviews about the bbk intake. There is a guy on here who ported it and had good things to say about it. But i would not get it just because of heat soak reasons. But if you already have it then i would not worry about it.
